What to Know

Critics Consensus

A Quiet Place artfully plays on elemental fears with a ruthlessly intelligent creature feature that's as original as it is scary -- and establishes director John Krasinski as a rising talent.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader A familiar premise is redeemed by a nifty gimmick in this suspenseful horror thriller. Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews But the difficulty does not lie in the lack of verbiage, but in our prohibitions. We're an ableist society, often fearful of the "arduous" journey that comes with empathizing with the deaf. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Perri Nemiroff Collider Video Sure, it's just a movie but A Quiet Place is so effective that you'll be deathly afraid of making a sound - just like the main characters. Rated: 9/10 Apr 25, 2018 Full Review Tania Hussain The Hudsucker Krasinski has constructed a tight, bold masterpiece, springing with emotional intelligence that is sure to make it an instant classic. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite A Quiet Place boasts unwavering focus, an incredibly built image system, and some of the best sound-design works I have seen in a horror film so far. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Swetha Ramakrishnan Firstpost The vast potential of silence does the trick in A Quiet Place — one of the most terrifying films in recent times for its execution of a unique brand of horror.

Eric I don’t get how this movie is giving too much praise. What a downgrade compared to the previous films smh Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review John C It's fair to say that the horror genre has the most forms of clones and clichés about it, meaning every 'new' version that comes out feels less and less new than the last. However, I'm delighted to say (as a long-standing fan of the genre) that 'A Quiet Place' actually finds a new way to package an old story. The tale about monsters hunting humans is nothing new, but the way lead actor/director John Krasinski tells it is definitely worth a watch if you're into this kind of film. Like I say, we join the proceedings a few months after monsters (aliens, maybe - it's never really dwelled upon) have completely taken over the Earth. Only they haven't got the 'tech' you may expect from 'superior' beings. They're more like your run-of-the-mill 'chase-you-and-eat-you' monsters who rely on their physical strength and speed, rather than their brains. And, it looks like us poor ol' earthlings only figured out that their one - sort of - weakness was that they are blind, hunting by sound alone. But, if you think that gives us much of an edge, let me inform you they have REALLY GOOD ears. Now, real life husband and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt play an on-screen couple who are desperately trying to survive and keep their children safe on a farm as they adapt to this new way of existing. First of all, I like the fact that our human heroes - technically - can't 'win.' The Earth is lost. The five humans are never going to 'take down' a planet-load of monsters singlehandedly. All they can do is survive as best they can. The first thing you need to know is that you could almost call 'A Quiet Place' a 'silent' film. Yes, there are plenty of music and natural sound effects, but dialogue is at an absolute minimal. This is down to the simple fact that if you talk - even on a farm in the middle of nowhere - chances are a monster will hear you from across the town and have you for lunch. This means that a lot of the 'interactions' between characters are by way of either facial expressions and body language, or sign language (yeah, one of the children is deaf, so the family already knew how to communicate this way). This gives the actors quite a challenge to portray enough emotions via these means. You may expect the adult actors to be up to this, but it's rare to see the kids pull it off with such apparent ease. What I really enjoyed about the film was the way that all characters behave in a way that seems real. Another cliché of horror films is that people act so dumb in whatever horrific situation they find themselves in we end up shouting at them on screen and lose patience with them. I'm pleased to say that all characters here don't make dumb decisions (oh, unless you count getting pregnant in a world that's gone to hell!). All in all, 'A Quiet Place' was a joy to watch for a horror fan like me. Whatever flaws it may contain are barely worth noting as it's a complete breath of fresh air for the genre. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Bryant C one of the best horror movies of the 2010s Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Muhammed a I think the movie was a good movie, I think it had a good plot and quality, it was a sad death, but I think it was a watchable movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Frank C Should be subtitled : Men and boys will save the world, while women and girls do laundry. But then again, the men aren't too smart - would you store your food in glass containers if any sound attracts the creatures? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Kaneki K Only right one was some dude named Eric lol. La cagaron la verdad. Nada que ver con las otras peliculas de A quiet place.
